This is turning into a growing problem, and it's absurd for these pharmacists to talk about their religious and moral beliefs. I go to the pharmacy for medicine, not spiritual advice. If you're opposed to the death penalty, don't apply for a job as an excecutioner. If you're allergic to animals, don't become a vet. And if you hate kids, don't become a pediatrician. It's absurd that these people have decided to be pharmacists, then turn around and saying being a pharmacist is against their religion. Great, it's not against mine. Give me my damn prescription.I wonder why these conscientious pharmacists are willing to work for pharmacies that sell what they consider to be baby-murdering products. I mean, would you work for a pharmacy that sold Zyclon-B, even if you didn't actually have to dispense it?
